Old Testament
Aspatha
Aspatha was one of the ten sons of Haman the Agagite who were killed in Susa.
Aspatha is identified in the book of Esther as one of the ten sons of Haman, the antagonist who plotted to destroy the Jewish people. Following the reversal of Haman's decree, he and his brothers were killed by the Jews in Susa. His death serves as a historical record of the total collapse of Haman's influence and the protection of the Jewish people.
